Basically whats happened with the golf mk2 & 3 is that you are loosing power down the wires. When you fit a relay kit your getting power direct from battery & are running 12-14v rather then less than 12v, adding a relay kit just makes your bulbs shine brighter as your getting more power to themthen. Thats the simpliest terms i can put it in for you bud.

It is impossible to get the ice blue tint using halogen bulbs.
The cars you see with that colour are normally running illegal HIDs, as factory xenons tend to be much whiter.
The fact of the matter is, halogen bulbs produce light towards the yellow end of the visible spectrum. If you start putting filters on the bulbs to make the light look bluer, you are infact blocking most of the useable output.

you can use any regular 12v relay!, i did this to mine 5 years ago, direct feed from headlight switch and battery to my Hids. gives big improvement

whiter coz they are 4000k
horrid blue is 8000k
6000k is a good choice for hids gives a white/very slight blue
